I am writing in to Ibanez to request for lefty models; who's supporting me?

I bought mine from MachineHead (not the band). The number behind the headstock is F0503588, I can't remember which bit is the year, but I guess it's either the 03 or 05.

[Lefty Robb]

its ****ing bull**** because one of the main reasons why I didn't get it was because all I could get was black, and I didn't want another black guitar.

Well, all I know is that they used to only be available in mirage blue in the uk, hence why Paul (Dreaming_neon_black) has one and I know of two Canadian websites that now have them aswell.

One site it's a special order only for about 1k Canadian plus tax, and the other store has them in stock for about 800 Canadian after tax.

It's an '05. And may I say, im disappointed in you for not knowing that...


That's Ibanez-101

I've never really cared, there's not enough lefty guitars to go 'ooo I need the 05 model cos after 05 they changed this and this and it sucked.'

I got what was available, hard enough finding a decent production guitar without faffing about with years and stuff.

I've gone the custom route because I can only get what I want that way . The next guitars I'm waiting for lefty PRS Custom 24 replica (emerald green) and lefty Green Meanie Charvel with a Fernandes sustainer.

Sounds awesome. I've got my Feline 7-string, and that 7-string Jem body for custom things, although I dunno what I'll do with the Jem yet, too many ideas!

Who's making the PRS replica?

[Koss]

You're not being forced. You and I both chose to play left handed because it was the easiest way to start off.

Playing left handed isn't a handicap. It isn't something WE are forced to do either. It's all about choices. We choose to play left handed. We choose not to play right handed. I choose to play mainly 7 strings. It goes on.

No unseen force is forcing you to play left handed. Sure, it's 10x more comfortable to play left handed, and we all suck at playing right handed, but we still could hold a guitar right handed and hit a note, right handed.

Which makes it not discriminatory that they don't offer left handed models.

If they made guitars and said that black people couldn't buy them, then that would be discriminatory. Because that isn't something you can control (unless you're MJ)

[Koss]

It isn't. And I care

Anyway, NAMM isn't going to show any left handed 7's, and the 8 wont be available left handed either. As far as 6's go, im not sure. But that isn't really my area of interest. So I guess they aren't listening so far.

If anyone wants a lefty ibanez 7 string, there is one on **** right now, ending in two days I think. And no it isn't mine, but it has the same finish as mine

One word: custom guitar builder.

You'd not only get a better guitar, but be sending money to a real working guy, not some big corporation. Try this guy: http://www.jagneauxguitars.com/CustomGuitars.htm
